Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Botany
  • Gene
  • DNA

Protoplast, Botany, Callus, Oryza sativa and Azorhizobium caulinodans are his primary areas of study. His Protoplast study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Isolation, Cell biology, Cell wall, Transformation and Somatic embryogenesis. His Transformation research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Plasmid and Molecular biology.

Edward C. Cocking is involved in the study of Botany that focuses on Shoot in particular. His work investigates the relationship between Callus and topics such as Zeatin that intersect with problems in Callus formation, Mannitol, Prunus and Rosaceae. His Azorhizobium caulinodans research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Lateral root and Colonization.

His most cited work include:

  • A Method for the Isolation of Plant Protoplasts and Vacuoles (315 citations)
  • Efficient Plant Regeneration from Rice Protoplasts Through Somatic Embryogenesis (294 citations)
  • Plant Cell Protoplasts-Isolation and Development (248 citations)

What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?

His main research concerns Protoplast, Botany, Callus, Somatic cell and Somatic fusion. His research on Protoplast concerns the broader Biochemistry. Edward C. Cocking mostly deals with Shoot in his studies of Botany.

His Callus study also includes

  • Somatic embryogenesis together with Medicago,
  • Seedling that connect with fields like Cotyledon and Medicago sativa. His research in Somatic fusion tackles topics such as Hybrid which are related to areas like Genetics. The study incorporates disciplines such as Cultivar, Poaceae and Genetically modified rice in addition to Oryza sativa.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Protoplast (65.09%)
  • Botany (65.09%)
  • Callus (24.06%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 1997-2019)?

  • Botany (65.09%)
  • Nitrogen fixation (9.43%)
  • Agronomy (6.13%)

In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:

His primary scientific interests are in Botany, Nitrogen fixation, Agronomy, Protoplast and Oryza sativa. His studies in Botany integrate themes in fields like Symbiosis, Lateral root and Azorhizobium caulinodans. His study looks at the relationship between Nitrogen fixation and topics such as Meristem, which overlap with Cell wall.

His study looks at the intersection of Agronomy and topics like Nitrogen with Bacteria and Crop. His Protoplast research incorporates themes from Somatic fusion, Somatic cell, Plant physiology, Organogenesis and Polyethylene glycol. His Oryza sativa research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Hybrid, Agrobacterium and Callus.

Between 1997 and 2019, his most popular works were:

  • Endophytic colonization of plant roots by nitrogen-fixing bacteria (206 citations)
  • Strategies for signal amplification in nucleic acid detection (97 citations)
  • The flavonoid naringenin stimulates the intercellular colonization of wheat roots by Azorhizobium caulinodans (68 citations)

In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:

  • Gene
  • Botany
  • DNA

His primary areas of study are Botany, Azorhizobium caulinodans, Oryza sativa, Lateral root and Nitrogen fixation. Lycopersicon and Protoplast are among the areas of Botany where the researcher is concentrating his efforts. His Oryza sativa research includes themes of X-Gluc and Transformation, Agrobacterium.

His study looks at the relationship between Lateral root and fields such as Colonization, as well as how they intersect with chemical problems. His research in Arabidopsis thaliana intersects with topics in Inoculation, Arabidopsis, Meristem, Symbiosis and Trifolium repens. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Rhizobiaceae, Azospirillum brasilense and Microbiology.
